IMPROVEMENT IN ADJUSTABLE CARRIAGESEAT.

".rhe Sehednle'referred to in the-se Letters Patent and making parso! the same4 To all whom it 'ma/y concern Be it known that we, WILLIAM H. Genoa and WILLIAM BOWE, of Wilmington, in the county of New Castle, and State of Delaware, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Jump-Seats for Oarriages; and we do hereby declarethat the following is a full, clear, land exactl description thereo'whi'ch' will enable others skilled 1.x the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in whiclif- Figure l is a longitudinal section oia wagon-body,

towhich our improvements have been attached, showing the seats in one position.

Figure 2 is the same view as iig. '1, showing the seats-in another position.

Figure 3 is the same view as fig. 1, showing the seats in a third position.` p

Similar letteis of reference indicate corresponding parts.

Ourinvention has forits object-to improve the `construetiox'i of that class; of carriage-seats known as 'are' pivoted to the harsor i'rames C, and the lower ends of which, are `pivoted to the lower part'pof the body A, or to supports` attached to said body.

This construction enables the seats tobe moved forward or back, to adjust them as required, without detaching them from their supports.

When the seats arel moved forward, or into the position 'shown in iig. `1, the stops E strike against the rear sides or edgesef the forward bars or standards- D, as shown in said iligure, and thus' securely support vthe said seats.

The stops or projections E areseourely attached to or formed solidly upon the bars 'or frames C, and should beso formed as to rest squarely upon the barsV D, and securely support said seats.

When the lseats B are vmoved back, or into the position shown in iig. 2, one of' the seats is supported by the stops or projections F, attached to or foimed upon the bars or frames C, in such positions as to stiike against the rear bars-D, and securely support the seat.

`The othe'r seat is made without the stops or projectionsl F, and is supported, when moved back or ,into the position shown in iig. 2, by the hooks G, which' are'pivoted to the lower part of the body A, in such positions as to hook upon the bars D, and support the seat when in the desired position.

This construction enables one of the seats B to 'be i moved so far back as to pass beneath the other seat,

as indicated in iig. 3', and thus be entirely out of the waywhen only one seat is required. Y

Having thus described ourzinvention,

We claim as new', and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The arrangement, in adouble-seated carriage, of four stops on the back and two on the front seat,V with hooks G Gr in the forward part tliereof, all as shown and described.
